In general, it is a better practice to add your family members to the FamilySearch Family Tree (FSFT) one at a time, slowly and carefully.
While a mechanism exists for taking a GEDCOM created on Ancestry and adding it to the FSFT, the process has some serious flaws and is not recommended.
Also, it's highly likely that many/most of your deceased family already have existing profiles in the FSFT. The aim of the FSFT is one, and only one, profile for each person. Uploading your individual tree from Ancestry to the FSFT collaborative tree risks creating duplicates.
Best of luck with the search.
